YouTube Premium family plan price update ($17.99/month -> $32.99/month!) (aussie.zone)

So this is some bollocks. Guess I'll be cancelling our plan since it's only used by two of us.

Current price $17.99/month, new price $32.99/month.

If they boiled the frog better I would probably have accepted a $5/month price rise, and then another later... But close to doubling in one go is a no from me dawg.

Thank you for being a loyal member throughout our journey. We created YouTube Premium so that you could enjoy all the videos and music you love without interruptions.‌

To continue delivering great service and features, we are increasing the YouTube Premium family plan price to A$32.99/month. We don't make these decisions lightly, and this update will allow us to continue to improve YouTube Premium and support the creators and artists you watch on YouTube. This is the first ever price increase for your subscription.

It's not even worthwhile for $17. Many of the trending videos on YouTube use that stupid AI voice too, the people making the videos can't even be bothered narrating them.

And people with under 10k subscribers can't even monotise, so YouTube makes the money on all of those.

I'd be willing to pay maybe $3 per month.

  1. selfhost jellyfin
  2. automatically download youtube videos based on a txt file with channel urls
  3. redirect youtube links to invidious for all other use case.
  4. never directly visit the youtube site ever again, depending on other service you use, no longer need a google account.
  5. no profit cause i never paid a dime but no regrets either.

How do you deal with the increased storage usage of all the videos you download? Do you have some sort of auto delete after it's watched or after some about of time?

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On pc jellyfin allows you to delete the media straight from within the webinterface so il usually delete videos after watching. But because i use the same server like a nass i do have some space for videos i do want to keep.

I am also rather picky on what goes on the list. Theres maybe 15 channels in their now, favorites i really don’t want to miss. I run a personal indivious client next to it with all my second tier and filler subscriptions.

Ah okay, how do you go about setting all this up?

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Honestly if you have absolutely no idea then replicating my exact setup might be a bit steep.

Before i made the download script (which i can share if you ping me next week when i am back home) i already had a 24/7 Ubuntu server with docker running multiple containers like a small Minecraft server.

You could replicate much of what i did on windows and a not always online machine but it may take some extra steps to get working.

I also got much help from chatgpt-(4) the last year for all kinds of linux/docker/scripting questions, my total linux experience is less then 3 years.

I recommended to start of trying to host invidious, which on itself could already be a full experience without requiring local storage or scripts.

invidous selfhost installation guide (i use docker-compose)

For any questions regarding docker i continuing to highly recommend chatgpt but remember its quality is entirely dependent on your ability to recognize “makes sense” versus “dangerously derailed bullshit”

If you have this working then getting jellyfin to work in docker will be a breeze. Only step remaining would be using a script like mine to download the videos and save them in the library folder. And as mentioned once i am back home next week i’ll be happy to share it and explain further.

What are you using to download videos? Youtube-dl hasn't updated in a couple years now and didn't seem to work anymore last I used it.

Well... I guess it helps creators at least.

Unless youtube changes their cut

[–] skribe@aussie.zone 0 points 1 year ago (9 children)

That's going into Google's pocket, not the creators'.
